From Cancer Diagnosis to Rowing the Mediterranean: How Brooke King Chose Joy Over Fear
What do you do when life blindsides you with a cancer diagnosis at 29? If you're Brooke King—you fight back with joy, adventure, and one hell of a bucket list.

In this powerful episode of All Can. No Can’t., I sit down with Brooke, an adventure-seeker turned cancer survivor, who's using her story to raise awareness, inspire healing, and literally row her way to remission—across the Mediterranean. From riding the world’s deadliest train to navigating the medical maze of thyroid cancer, Brooke’s story is about resilience, radical positivity, and rewriting your narrative when life throws a curveball.

We talk about:
Survivor's guilt and redefining strength
How to self-advocate in a broken healthcare system
Finding healing through storytelling and community
Why joy is a practice, not a personality trait
Her upcoming ocean row and how it’s helping fund cancer research
Whether you're navigating your own obstacle or supporting someone who is, Brooke's story will remind you that pain can be a portal—and joy is still possible.

From Cancer Diagnosis to Rowing the Mediterranean: How Brooke King Chose Joy Over Fear is more than a title—it’s a blueprint for turning adversity into adventure.

How Cam F. Awesome Rewired His Mindset After Setbacks to Become a 12x National Champion — In this high-impact episode of All Can. No Can’t., I sit down with one of the most resilient humans I’ve ever met. Cam F. Awesome is a 12-time national boxing champion, 3-time Olympic Trials champ, and a master of mindset.

But Cam’s real power isn’t his punch—it’s the internal dialogue that took him from bullied kid to national champion. We talk about the moment he got kicked off the Olympic team and how he didn’t just bounce back—he changed his name, rebuilt his life, and created an entirely new playbook for resilience and reinvention.

You’ll hear how Cam uses storytelling to reframe failure, why he never sits between rounds (and what that says about your approach to life), and how to train your reticular activating system (RAS) to start finding wins instead of fear.

We cover:

• Turning internal doubt into power
• How identity is built through action and repetition
• The power of visualization, discipline, and mental reps
• Why most people are one belief away from a breakthrough

This one hits hard—in the best way. Cam doesn’t just tell stories. He changes them.

How Cam F. Awesome Rewired His Mindset After Setbacks to Become a 12x National Champion is a reminder: your story isn’t over. You get to write the next chapter.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t what happened to you—but how you’re responding to it?

In this solo episode of All Can No Can't, Jeff Luther gets raw and real about one of the hardest-earned lessons from his near-death experience: people don’t care what happened to you, they care how you respond. Not in a heartless way—but in a deeply human one. Because the truth is, your story doesn’t define you—your comeback does.

Jeff breaks down what happens when life hits hard—divorce, betrayal, layoffs, illness—and why the most powerful thing you can do isn’t wallow in it, but rise from it. From surviving sudden cardiac death to rebuilding a coaching business and proving what’s possible, Jeff shares how choosing “can” over “can’t” became his blueprint for transformation.

This episode challenges you to rethink victimhood, take ownership of your comeback, and understand that your response is your legacy. If you're navigating chaos, loss, or disappointment, this message will light a fire in you to keep going—not for sympathy, but for strength.

People don’t remember your excuses. They remember your grit.

Tune in, take notes, and flip your story into a strategy.

In this episode of All Can No Can’t, host Jeff Luther sits down with John Hankins—a licensed social worker and certified financial therapist—who completely reinvented himself at the age of 71. After decades in tech and nonprofit leadership, a surprise lymphoma diagnosis forced John to reimagine his legacy. The result? A meaningful second act in financial therapy, helping others heal their emotional relationship with money.

We dig into what financial therapy really is, why money anxiety is more emotional than logical, and how shame, scarcity, and outdated money beliefs are silently running the show for most people. John shares his inspiring journey from inner-city social work to IT consulting to becoming one of the most emotionally intelligent guides in the world of financial behavior.

If you're curious about how to break free from dysfunctional money patterns, feel stuck in your career path, or wonder if it's ever “too late” to start over—this episode is your wake-up call.
